Chapter 1731 What a Great Ex-boyfriend

The scene that had to be refilmed was between Zoe and the supporting actress, Susan Fennel.The original scene went like this—Susan was to provoke Zoe before slapping her, but Zoe would dodge it.However, Susan caught Zoe off guard by slapping her before finishing her lines. A clear handprint immediately showed up on Zoe's face.Zoe was stunned for a moment. Her ears buzzed from the slap.She knew very well what Susan was thinking. After graduating from the film academy, Susan had finally won herself a supporting role after acting in minor roles for five years, yet she'd still lost to Zoe, who'd appeared out of nowhere. Now that Zoe was being suppressed and on the verge of losing everything, Susan would feel avenged. How could she not take this opportunity to make things worse for Zoe?Susan was still saying her lines, and Zoe cooperated. She didn't delay the filming because of the slap.She didn't throw a tantrum just because she'd been slapped. Susan, on the other hand, had a s

Chapter 1732 Why Wouldn’t I Know If You Were Allergic?

The next day, Zoe purposely looked at the mirror to see if she could still see the slap Susan had given her. On the surface, she couldn't see it, but it still hurt. Even the lightest touch made her wince…She put on makeup to cover it up and told Melissa she was going to Windmere City to get something.Melissa felt that Zoe had had a hard time over the past few days, so she didn't say anything and let her go. She was also heading to the city soon to deal with a perfume company that wanted to terminate its contract with Zoe. She told Zoe to leave without her so she could clean up the room. They could meet at the perfume company later.Zoe arrived at Nancy's Kitchenette.The shop was by the seaside and had a small entrance. Before getting out of the car, she spied Joshua sitting inside. His back was as straight as always.She entered the shop and said casually, "You're here already?"Joshua looked her up and down. She wore plain clothes with a white fisherman's hat, and her shades

Chapter 1733 Couldn’t Keep the Sorrow at Bay

"We were only together for three years. How could you know everything about me?" Zoe lowered her head and muttered.Joshua fell silent and started eating with a frown."What time is it?" Just as Zoe was about to finish eating, she suddenly remembered Melissa wanting her to head to Heartwing's office building. Her phone was in her bag, and she was too lazy to rummage around for it. She asked Joshua for the time almost reflexively."Why do you ask?""I need to head to Heartwing later." She sped up."To terminate the contract?" Joshua asked.Zoe was silent for a moment. She knew Joshua was quick-witted and could think of things that most people couldn't. He knew she was in a bad situation now; it was normal for companies to want to terminate their contracts with her. She nodded. "Yeah.""It's 5:00 p.m.," Joshua looked at his watch and said seriously.Zoe was stunned for a moment. She knew that it was impossible for it to be 5:00 p.m. now. She'd left the set around 11:00 a.m. and h

Chapter 1734 Joshua Was Also Here?

Zoe took her phone from her bag and saw that it was already 2:20 p.m., so she told Joshua, "I have to go now. How did you get here?""I drove. I'll go with you.""Huh?" Zoe frowned slightly."I'll accompany you when you terminate the contract.""You're going too?" Though she couldn't pinpoint it, she still felt something was amiss. She looked adorable when thinking about something. "How are you going, then?""I can drive or take your car.""But…""I'll drive. Let's go." After saying that, Joshua grabbed his car keys and left. Zoe didn't have time to think and followed him, feeling like she'd acted rashly this time. What would Melissa say about this?As she fastened her seatbelt, Joshua asked, "Where are you going after terminating the contract?""Back to the set," Zoe said."I'll send you there.""There's no need. I can take Melissa's car or drive there myself.""It's up to you. I won't force you," Joshua said.On the way, Zoe received a call from Melissa. She said that sh

Chapter 1735 Feeling More Inferior

After getting into the elevator, Melissa pressed the button for Heartwing's legal department.During this time, many employees saw Zoe and could not help but whisper to each other. Someone even asked, "Who's the man beside her? He's so cool and stylish."Zoe felt even more inferior. Her status as a top celebrity did not ease her inferiority complex.The people from the legal department saw them. Moreover, the man seemed to be the new nouveau riche of Windmere City, Joshua Lawrence.Someone poured coffee for them. Joshua took the teacup and said politely, "Thank you."Then, seemingly affectionately, he whispered something into Zoe's ear. "How are you returning to the set later?""I'll probably ask Melissa to bring me along," Zoe replied. Hadn't she told him this earlier?The director of the legal department felt that something was wrong. He had never heard of there being anything between Zoe and Joshua. Why…He excused himself and asked his subordinates to entertain the three of

Chapter 1736 How Did You Get Together?

"How did you guys get together? To me, someone like Joshua wouldn't fall for anyone easily," Melissa suddenly said.How had they gotten together?When Zoe was 19 years old, there was another woman from her hometown who was also studying in Blica. Her name was Lindsey Quell, and she loved watching handsome guys, especially those who played basketball. Whenever Zoe looked for her, she would find her at the basketball court. Zoe said she wanted to go to the library, but Lindsey said, "The library isn't half as interesting as watching handsome guys. Now that we're in university, we should relax and do fun things. Look at that guy. Isn't he handsome? His name is Joshua Lawrence."Zoe wasn't in the mood. The sun was setting, and she had to return to her university, yet Lindsey was still hanging around the basketball court. Zoe was very anxious.The basketball game was finally over, and the players left the court.Zoe complained, "Have you spent all your tuition on this Joshua?""What?"

Chapter 1737 Drew Me Well

After that, Zoe was busy with class and exams and had no time to go to MIT. When she next went, it was autumn. She saw Joshua in the cafeteria. He was wearing a jacket, which made him look even more handsome.Joshua walked past her and said, "The sketch was pretty good."Zoe looked at him innocently. "What?""You drew me well."She had almost forgotten about the sketch of him and was pretty happy to hear him compliment her. She smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it.""Can you continue drawing me in the future?" Joshua asked.Zoe nodded obediently. "Sure."They had great impressions of each other. To Joshua, Zoe wasn't pretentious, unlike other girls who had all kinds of thoughts in their eyes. He liked that about her and had noticed her much earlier.She was too beautiful to miss.All they wanted was to be together; marriage was not a given. Who would've expected……"A school romance, huh?" Melissa said. "Your first time was with him, right?"Zoe scooted closer to the wind

Chapter 1738 Running Into Each Other Was Already Too Much

Calvin couldn't discern how Joshua felt for Zoe and how far they'd gone. Things were pretty ambiguous, so he hadn't asked Zoe to terminate the contract so easily.Actually, it wasn't impossible to resolve this. Anything that could be handled with money wasn't an actual issue.However, Neil was infuriated when he heard this. He firmly refused to let Calvin interfere in this matter anymore and said he'd act as if he'd never known Calvin if Calvin interfered. Joshua was only 25 years old and couldn't be blamed for falling for someone like Zoe. Life was so long; he had plenty of chances to meet someone better. Joshua was the oldest son and had no business marrying an actress. Besides, Neil was pretty against school romances. Hadn't he and Ariana fallen for each other in their school days? Look at how adamantly against them Damien had been!"I understand," Joshua said.Then, he called Zoe.Zoe had just arrived at the hotel and wanted to rest. She found it strange to receive a call from

Chapter 1739 They Were Actually Incompatible

Zoe smiled. "Ex-girlfriend, you mean. Things between us are in the past now, and I've slowly learned to love Dan. He's pretty great, actually. As a rich kid, he's quite down-to-earth, loyal, and buys me plenty of stuff. Oh, Philip called me today and apologized. He said he was just teaching me a lesson and would make everything return to normal soon. Anyway, did you know Dan and I are marrying soon?"Joshua stared at Zoe. After a while, he said, "No, I didn't.""We've only just decided on it. My father-in-law did this because he wanted us to get married as soon as possible. We're engaged and have already done everything couples should do, so why not get married? I've thought things through, and my mother is happy to see me marry young.""You can't marry him!""Who are you to me? Many things have happened in the past year, things that you know nothing of. If we hadn't run into each other, I would've forgotten about you," Zoe said.When Joshua heard this, he stood up from his chair

Chapter 1740 Do You Still Like Me?

In truth, Melissa felt that Zoe and Joshua were incompatible. There was too huge a gap between them. Zoe was a top celebrity but depended on someone else's support; the smallest mistake would make her go from heaven to hell in a split second. Moreover, the Lawrence family couldn't accept her family background. On the other hand, the Lawrence family had accumulated its wealth over the years and were well-bred—Zoe could never compare to that. She had a pretty face, but what did it matter?"What?" Zoe asked."It's nothing. All of this happened for a reason—with this experience, your acting will be a lot more genuine. You'll truly be able to portray a character who can't get the person she loves; the emotions will show through your eyes," Melissa said.Suddenly, Zoe burst into tears, perhaps because Melissa had mentioned she couldn't get the person she loved. She sobbed so hard that she hunched over, choking and coughing. Melissa kept patting her back.Once upon a time, she'd dreamed o
